Medical Transcription (MEDTR)

OCC

Program Overview:
The Medical Transcription certificate program is designed to prepare medical transcriptionists, medical receptionists, and other related personnel who do not need shorthand as a requirement for employment in medical offices. Jobs are available in this area in hospitals, clinics, doctors' offices, insurance companies, health foundations, local industries, and Illinois state and U.S. government agencies. The demand for well-trained medical transcriptionists is increasing due to the expansion of medical services, medical agencies, and the increase in medical records maintenance.

Program and/or Course Requirements:
Beginning Keyboarding is a pre-program requirement.
